encyclopediabritanika 's review for:
Touch
by Adania Shibli
Shibli's Minor Detail was short and packed such a mighty punch. I can't stop thinking about that book and was excited to read this one, not knowing what to expect.
Still short, this was hauntingly quieter with the punch packed in the periphery of the story. From the perspective of a young girl in Palestine, you observe from her young naive eyes her world so you experience her earache and her attending a funeral in a pant with a hole in it. But it's in the periphery of the story that you realize the story is covering the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the murder of a family member, occupation.
